Images have been the main propellant for the Internet's popularization.
Expectations for performance and quality of images are driving
new technologies as the space of web-connected business and commercial
imaging solutions grows and as the cost of Web access and high
quality reproduction hardcopy devices drops. Concomitantly, users
are shifting towards wireless clients with spartan network bandwidth
and display sizes. New applications are appearing to take advantage
of these opportunities, and exposing new system requirements.
Internet imaging is different from other imaging applications
because an internet is a network of networks. This entails complications
like unpredicable bandwidth, latency, caching, firewalls, security,
platform heterogeneity, standardization, and others. Furthermore,
images can be still images, animations, or video sequences.
This conference is intended as a forum for discussing these
technologies, applications, and challenges facing them. The participants
will present the most recent developments in the appropriate representation,
communication, and rendering of images using the Internet. Focus
of the conference is on novel means of image capture, coding,
computation and representation specific to the Internet, efficient
transport of images over networks, display and rendering of image
received over networks, and the requirements of applications which
derive value from the use of these technologies. Unmet needs of
desired applications are also relevant. Algorithms, protocols,
software, hardware, communications systems, and applications are
appropriate topics.
Papers are solicited in the following areas, and special attention
is given to new applications and requirements created by opportunities
on the Internet:
- image processing for Internet, reuse of softcopy and hardcopy
images -- data compression and representation, coding for multiresolution
or resolution-independent images
- imaging issues in content-based indexing, search and retrieval,
indexing video
- virtual and augmented reality, telemedicine, data visualization,
remote surveillance
- Internet video, multimedia presentation on the Internet --
multimedia integration, presentation, management, authoring,
animation, SMIL, SVG, VRML, Interactive TV, multimedia presentation
formats, presentation agents, and e-commerce multimedia applications
- systems issues -- color space architectures, distributed
color management, computation for images on the Internet, automatic
printing, displays for Internet appliances, e-commerce and e-services
- network image transport -- protocols, XML applications, Web
crawling, caching, and security
- network computing -- distributed computing, performance analysis,
benchmarks for contents based image retrieval (CBIR), MRML, fault
tolerance & failure recovery, media synchronization, transaction
managers, directory & agent services, wireless Internet
- social and legal issues and technical solutions for the Internet
including privacy, copyright, content rating, watermarking, authentication,
non-repudiation, and notification
- interactive image creation for the Internet -- artistic impression,
Web design, special issues for video, semiotics, advanced man-machine
interfacing, visual languages, ergonometry, user models for CBIR
- publishing on the Internet -- graphic arts requirements,
commerce systems, agents, image syndication, leasing, resolution
and quality requirements, movie film digitatization and color
restoration, palettization, file formats, capture systems
- classifying images -- perceptual organization, cataloging,
categorization, thesauri, iconography, ontologies, metadata,
XML solutions, video summarization
- cultural heritage applications -- image permanence issues,
scanning strategies, cataloging, presentation and publication
strategies, DVD-ROM vs. Internet
A fast Internet connection will be available in the auditorium.
In deciding where to submit their papers, potential authors
are advised to also consider such closely related EI 2002 conferences
like Human Vision and Electronic Imaging, Storage and Retrieval
for Image and Video Databases, Security and Watermarking of Multimedia
Contents, and Color Imaging: Device-Independent Color,
Color Hardcopy, and Graphic Arts.
